Looks good, but it is a shame you are putting that roach of a 496 in it. It would have been faster with a LSX build. Ask your boy the Rubster if he is going to race anytime soon. My little 489 wants his 632 on motor. And I do not want to hear the bull about how his car weighs 4000 lbs when JM Paint has the same car and he is a little plump himself (75 lbs over Rubright) and weighs 3680. I am 3400 so 200 lbs lighter to his 143 more cubes.

1. My 489 will outrun your 489 with the same gear.

So put the same 4.86 gear in it and lets race. Are you sure your motor can take 8000 RPM. That is where I will trap at.

Let me finish it first sunshine. I won't need that much gear. You do because your a disciple of the school of wack when it comes to tire size. Over compensating for something...........

You know JB, just a typical BS excuse. For the record I am actually overgeared and should have 4.56 or 4.71's, but who's counting? A wise man on swamp pike once said, no matter what, no matter if you win or loose, there will always be some reason:
-Mustang has huge tires
-Mustang is light as a feather
-Mustang is a 4 speed (keep in mind I use the clutch)
-Mustang has steep gears
-Others have heavy cars
-Others have nitrous motors (Mustang is set up for a 250 shot)
-Others have a tight converter
-Others run on pump gas
Fact ... Others have heads that outflow mine by over 50 cfm

So who do you want to race and when?

FE would like the following races:
FE vs. Mike (when you are ready next year) motor to motor
FE vs. Rubright (489 to 632, all motor, whenever, track rental?)
FE vs. Buuwack
FE vs. botchella (one rule, he must drive!!!!!, just kidding)

Man I'm late with the replies...

Jace did the front end stuff at Rubrights. Charlie will do the 25.5 if I find the money.
